    Thanks for posting this! I was researching not too long ago about upgrading my ROP, but today i found this thread and was a little bummed reading your observations on the tightness of the beam for the lo compared to the hi bulbs...i definitely dont want to upgrade to a hi setup if i'm not going...

    The Trustfire Protected 18650's run my ROP-lo well and cost $10/pair from DX...another $10 for the charger and $12 for the pack with the 3854-L bulb....was just as bright on the stock reflector and lens before i replaced with the KD Reflector and Bora lense...but like KiwiMark said, the low bulb...

    Ah...the upgrade dilemma

    charge times arent so important...i usually use this light in 1-3 minute sessions, so i can go a few days(or weeks) between charging ...i usually just charge overnight...now for this: LiFePO4 26650 $8.95/cell...i'm all about saving money....are they at least a cut-above my Trustfires? And...

    Ah...the upgrade dilemma

    Ahha! So i can see where the 3853H 7.2V could outshine my 3854L 6V on a solid set of batteries....i was looking at LuxLuthor's thread and it looks like i could get a nice little boost over my present lo-bulb (as i doubt my fully charged TFs are giving even an honest 8.0volts@the bulb, let alone...

    I'm finally hearing(seeing) the pelican's roar!

    Thanks for the feedback, guys...i'm gonna wait til i put the final touches on this ROP-lo build before i take a chance on the 'hi'...i may just save it for another(roomier) host...then invest in some more robust batteries and good charger(so much for keeping my battery collection simple, lol)...

    Simple bulb upgrade for a M@g 2D

    So if i decided to go with a ROP low and changed my mind to do a ROP high later, would it be better to get the borafloat lens instead? will there be more transmission loss than the UCL? and will i have to replace the stock reflector as well?
